As far as I know, the identfile should be empty unless the user is logging into IRC (at which point it—briefly—contains that user's ident). Setting it up doesn't populate it. It gets populated on use.

Does ident work for you, even though the identfile is empty?

sometimes it does, other times it fails to ident with port 113 returning no-user when I watch with tcpdump -Xnvv port 113
